Compressor
Sussex Diving Club have their own compressor.
All club members who want to use this facility will need to have a BSAC Compressor Operator qualification. This course is offered in house. Once completed members can pump their own cylinders as and when required, two people must be present when cylinders are pumped for safety reasons. If you require this training please email us on – dive@sussexdiving.co.uk. Keys to the arch are issued to qualified members. A deposit (currently £10) will be charged and this is refundable when you return the keys. Remember that only cylinders that are in test and stamped clearly with the latest date can be pumped. It is your responsibility to ensure that your own cylinders are in test.
